Brethren Beginnings~Rise of the Brethren, Deena Remiel

So now you're curious. Where did the Brethren come from? Why are they here? Well, I have answers. And they come in the form of a free online serial called, Brethren Beginnings~Rise of the Brethren. It's a continuing series that posts every three weeks on a Monday at high noon, Arizona time. Below is the first of 12 installments. Number 2 is over at Goddess Fish. Two of the nine Brethren have had their stories told already, so please head over to to their site for more! http://brethrenbeginnings.wordpress.com/

Number 1

Time is eternal, no beginning and no end. And yet as humans we are on a constant mission to find when IT all began, how we came to be, and why we are here. We must have a purpose to this life, so many of us suggest. Some of us have found grand, solid purposes to our lives, while others continue to ponder, wallowing in the muck and mire of a horrid life thrust upon them without their consent. And so, while many of us live out our days finding love, building families and careers, others not as fortunate become predators, sniffing out any excuse to snuff out another’s purposeful life.

It was when humans had begun to segregate themselves this way, into people of goodness and people of evil, that the Brethren first surfaced on earth. Their appearance was not one of brilliance, nor was it apocalyptic. There were no meteor showers that day. There was no eclipse of the sun. No major earthquakes or other natural disasters were pointed to, heralding the coming of the Brethren.

They simply manifested.

There was a new awareness of being, of having hands to touch with, a mouth to speak with, eyes to see, and ears to hear, all new, independent and tangible features; yet each was dependent on another to absorb information and paint a complete picture of the world around them.

For all Brethren, there was, too, an immediate understanding of their purpose, and an acknowledgement that here was now their home, to protect, to heal, and to fight for.
